Videos about carers' use of technology
Posted in All posts
After the great success of the Health and Wellbeing resources on Silver Surfers’ Day, and to mark National Carers Week this month (12-19th June 2010), we’re showcasing some great examples of how carers can use digital technology to support and resource their caring.
Computers for Carers – A window to the world
Pete Taylor from Knowle West cares full-time for his son who has a limiting health condition
For more examples of using the Internet to explore Health and Wellbeing issues with older learners, have a look at our updated resources here as well http://www.silversurfersday.org.uk/health-caring/
If you know of any other video resources for carers or learning resources please comment on this blog post with your favourites we would love to know.

Thank you for this post – you might find http://www.carers.org and http://www.youngcarers.org interesting in this regard. They provide very lively discussion boards/forums and live chats for carers to discuss and share their experiences with one another as well as hosted chats with people from various relevant organizations and backgrounds
The youngcarers website also provides an avenue for young carers to submit their blog posts about any thing they want to share.
